YAN ZHEN DONG, Petitioner, v. Eric H. HOLDER Jr., United States Attorney General, Respondent, 364 F. App'x 683

SUMMARY ORDER Petitioner Yan Zhen Dong, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a December 8, 2008 order of the BIA denying her motion to reopen. In re Yan Zhen Dong, No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ] (B.I.A. Dec. 8, 2008). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case. We review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. See Kaur v. BIA, 413 F.3d 232, 233 (2d Cir.2005) (per curiam).

An alien seeking to reopen proceedings must file her motion to reopen no later than 90 days after the date on which the final administrative decision was rendered. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). However, there is no time limit for filing a motion to reopen if it is “based on changed circumstances arising in the country of nationality or in the country to which deportation has been ordered, if such evidence is material and was not available and could not have been discovered or presented at the previous hearing.” 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii).

In this case, the BIA reasonably found that Dong’s motion to reopen did not qualify for such an exception. Indeed, Dong neither raised such an argument in her motion to reopen nor submitted any objective evidence of country conditions in China. Moreover, contrary to Dong’s argument, the BIA did not err in relying on the underlying adverse credibility determination in declining to credit her unauthenticated evidence. See Qin Wen Zheng v. Gonzales, 500 F.3d 143, 146-47 (2d Cir.2007); see also Siewe v. Gonzales, 480 F.3d 160, 170 (2d Cir.2007).

Additionally, the BIA did not abuse its discretion by declining to consider the 2007 U.S. State Department Country Report on Human Rights Practices in China (“2007 Country Report”) because that document was not in the record. See Ke Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 265 F.3d 83, 93 (2d Cir.2001). We will not remand for consideration of such evidence. See Xiao Xing Ni v. Gonzales, 494 F.3d 260, 261-62 (2d Cir.2007). Regardless, Dong cites portions of the 2007 Country Report that describe continuity in the enforcement of China’s family planning policy as opposed to a change in conditions.

For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. As we have completed our review, the pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot.
